I had exactly the same issue today. 🤬

You get what you pay for. These helmets are not necessarily expensive. Friends have had these for years with nil issues. Pinlock does work in my experience, but can only speak for Shoei and AGV.

Is the work otherwise basically the same as the 2wd models? Thanks

Dreadful design - mine did the same, nearly set fire to my living room - I had to open the patio door and throw it outside. How can they be allowed to sell these things?!

Shark helmets are pretty good They have 5 year warranty

Hi tools u show on video do u have any idea wer from to buy because audi a3 2018 tfsi engine that tools on early models do not fit

😂😂😂😂...

My very first helmet that I bought. Had it for nearly 6 years now. It's brilliant, don't listen to this guy. Go buy it.

VAX UK don't sell a replacement belt tensioner component, nor have they carried out any upgrade to this under engineered component. So: VAX = Useless + Unhelpful! thank you for posting this video: very helpful!

Thought this was gonna be easy, 2 of the 3 bolts came out easy, the 3rd one (16mm) came out about one cm and is now completely seized wont go back or come out and I feel that its gonna snap, so I bit the bullet and bought an impact wrench, so lets see if that works, otherwise I might have to drop the subframe if that bolt snaps to replace that one bracket.

this is a GREAT helmet, by far the MOST COMFORTABLE and sound-dampening I have owned. I've had one for more than 5 years, I am now replacing it for an identical one. The reason why I am changing it is because the visor was starting to become hazy and the transparent coating was peeling off. The price for a new visor is too high. Since the interior was starting to deteriorate too, I decided to spend 270$ for anew helmet, rather than 110$ on a visor alone

I'm glad I watched your video. I have the same problem. All of a sudden a smell of burning rubber. Very disappointed in this product as I haven't used it that much. Thankfully still under guarantee.

The fact you call it a crash helmet makes me know i probably shouldn't listen to you 😂

Hi have you got a link to the resistor please as i cant seem to find one. Thank you

Well done for doing it all one handed! Quite a feat.

I got the i3 and love it. Wont change in a long time

Thanks mate this video was very hard to find, took me a while. Good job.

I've owned this helmet for 5 years. Ridden thousands of miles with it. Its been absolutely fantastic and for the price I would highly recommend it. I do agree about the visor though, it's not well designed and I had the exact same issue with mine. Although I contacted Shark directly and they sent a replacement even though it was out of warranty ! Great service from them. My only other issue is the speaker cut outs dont seem to be positioned quite right for my ears, bit too high and a bit too far back. But other than that its served me very well.

So why not just mark the cam gears and not use the special tool?

Mom, these mechanics in the UK have never heard of a torque wrench, they all break the threads with an air gun that's why I chose to learn to do it myself and I try to do it whenever I'm broke. this is what I learned in 10 years in the UK, as these mechanics are just handy mans

I think your fault that braked wisor by using force on it! been taken wisor more tens of times with no problems AT ALL!

What size do you think that nut would be? Trying to take apart 87 xr250 front suspension and I just can’t quite figure it out

This same problem had happened with our 2022 machine. After being used just twice the scrubbing brushes row melted and was replaced at the cost to Vax only to then find the nylon gear cog had melted. A very expensive piece of junk.

I came here to see an easy way to do the disc replacement. This appears to be a standard way to do it, no problem with that. However, if a layperson doesn't have access to VCDS/VAGcom or similar, can the E parking brake be put into the service position or not? All this shows is how a dealer with £2000 worth of diagnostics can replace the brake disc, not a competent person on their driveway......

Fusch nur furchtbar

Terrible

Had the same. Under warranty. 1 year old but I have used it a lot. Why have a smooth belt where there is water.

Brilliant made it far easier

There is a specific angle to detach the visor and it looks like you didn't do it properly... so before you defame a brand you should watch a how to video or read the instructions of the helmet.

Completely agree. Save you’re money, rent a RugDoctor. Vax aren’t interested in helping repair broken units. And vacuum repair shops won’t touch them. Money making scam on Vax’s part.

What a happy chappy!!!

Great video .Cheers.

how much do you charge for a cambelt replacement? I have an Audi a3 1lt 2016. I live in London

Thanks for the video my vax newer model just done the same. It’s almost like Vax intentionally make weak parts so they can sting you for parts and repairs. Money money money.

Very helpful video. No doubt you would prefer everyone to use independent garages like yourselves but like yourselves, there are many competent DIY mechanics who just need to see how something is meant to be done to do the job right without taking a million things off. Great video.

Did you remove prop shaft or just move out the way

Yes, i quite agree, we've got the same Vax machine and the brush bar stopped revolving. On checked the belt it was fine and still attached but evidently there was a burning smell and it is likely to be the part that you refer to as being at fault. I think we'll go back to our Bissell, this Vax machine is not worth the £250 we paid for it!

this has happened three times to us and its out of warranty were not impressed with VAX

Dear sir, Thankyou so much indeed,for posting this video. My good freind,dave has just bought this brand new and it has just done exactly as you have shown here Very clear,concise,and too the point,exellent video,this will help me loads,to try and fix it.big thanku😊

I had the same thing happen to my Shark Skwal 2.2 after 15 months of use, it's quite a common problem i'm told, other parts of it don't seem the best quality either, only good thing was they replaced it without a fuss.

Why do you call it a "crash helmet"😂... They're called Helmets, don't jinx yourself

Had mine for 2 years and do 10.000 miles a year. Had absolutely no problems whatsoever. And sounds like you haven't fitted the pinlock properly, because mine has worked excellent all through winter too!

D-Skwal 3 already change a new mechanism...but the Spartan GT series still use the similar mechanism🙄

Had more than one D-Skwal (one has been my go-to helmet for the last 3ish years) and a Spartan Carbon. Never had any issues with the visors.

Great job - only one comment: Copper paste and copper grease are only for metal use as they have anti-rust and anti-seize properties. They can damage rubber material. Spray a window cleaner instead; it works great as a lubricant for such jobs.

I’ve had this helmet for over a year now, I use it almost daily. I have never had any issues with this helmet. Personally I do recommend the helmet.

U just push down on the belt in the middle with the plunger that comes in the kit 😂

Great job. I have the mk6 1.4 tsi 2009 manual. Only 34k on clock. Not been serviced for 3 years as I do very few miles 3k p.a. Want to service the car now. Do I need the timing belt replaced as well and how much does it cost?

Heppened the same with visor shield. I would never buy skwal again:D

Be Geeeeeenntle with the 16 mm bolt guys.... the subframe is aluminium, the thread is f***** fragile ! (the T-torque is 65nm for the 16mm, 80nm for the 18)
